REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES.


The Taylor library at East Derry is the oldest library institution in town, and for many years was the only public library here. On account of its location it does not have the advantages to offer that are held out by its sister institution established a few years ago in the western part of the town and being open to the public only two days each week is less convenient for its patrons. The means of access and the ac- commodations at this library are not what we wish they were, and the need of larger and better quarters is being real- ized more and more as the days go by. The trustees and


60


librarian are endeavoring to have the library fulfil its mission as anticipated by its generous founders. When any of its patrons would desire to see certain acceptable books placed upon its shelves the fact should be made known to the librarian.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL BOARD.


In compliance with the law, the following report with a financial statement for the year ending Feb. 15, 1916, and an estimate for the coming year to end Feb. 15, 1915, is respectfully submitted.


The Supervisory District is composed of Londonderry, Derry Special and Derry Town Districts, the same as last year. At the Supervisory meeting held in May Mr. Charles W. Cutts was re-elected at a salary of $1700, one half of which is paid by the State. Of the other $850, Londonderry pays $225 for three half days, Derry Special pays $85, and Derry Town $510.


This year Mr. Cutts has his office at the Adams Memorial Building, which is very convenient and is also a saving in rent to the Town District. This is Mr. Cutts's third year as Superintendent, and under his efficient supervision the schools are improving steadily.


Owing to the crowded condition in the 6th and 7th grade, we feel that we shall have to provide for one and possibly two new teachers for the coming year.


Some much needed repairs have been made on the Oak St. School, and some minor repairs have been made at the West Side School. New blackboards have been placed in Districts No. 3 and 4.


About one half of the children at District No. 3 come from Londonderry, and Londonderry pays one half of the expense of maintaining the school.


64


During the past year we have paid all current bills against the District and have paid $800 on note indebtedness. There remains $1600 notes outstanding.


This next year we shall have to have at least $2200 for High School tuition as the rebate is based on the tax rate for the five years next preceeding. This year we shall ask the District to raise the sum of $8500 at the annual meeting.


The following is an estimate of the amount required to meet the statutory obligations, and this report is a notice to the seleetmen as required by law:


High School Tuition . $2200 .


Books and supplies 800 .


Flags and appurtenances .

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.


To the Board of Education of Derry Town School District:


I submit herewith my third annual report as Superin- tendent of schools.


Since the last annual report, several changes have oc- curred in our teaching force. Miss Ray, principal of the Oak St. school, resigned in May to accept a position in Mas- sachusetts. Mr. W. D. Davis was secured to succeed her, and has proved to be a valuable man for the place. Miss Wilson was transfered from District No. 4 to the 7th grade room in the Oak St. school to succeed Miss Hamblett, but after teaching a month she resigned to accept a position in Lawrence. Miss Arnold, who had taught for nearly two years at District No. 7, was now put in charge of the 7th grade room. These are the only changes in the fifteen rooms of the Oak St. and West Side buildings. These, how. ever, made necessary new teachers at Districts Nos. 4 and 7. Miss Gertrude C. McEneaney and Miss Edna R. Pressey were selected for these schools, and Miss Ruth W. Taylor was chosen for District No. 8. Thus we began the year with three new teachers. At the close of the fall term, Miss Tay- lor resigned, and a little later Miss Murphy at District No. 5 also resigned, both to accept positions elsewhere. Miss Caroline Roesner and Miss Mary W. Barrett were secured for these positions.


Forty were graduated from the 8th grade, and most of these entered the Academy.


The most important change in our school conditions for


69


the present year is the increase in the number of children. More than seventy entered the sub-primary room at the West Side school at the beginning of the year. This conges- tion was finally relieved by transferring some to the Oak St school and by putting some of the more mature into the Ist- grade rooms. There are at present seventy five more pupils in these two buildings than there were a year ago on the corresponding date. This increase has resulted in an over crowded condition in several rooms. The average member- ship for the fall term in the Oak St. building would equal forty-three for each of the nine rooms in the building. The 6th and 7th grade rooms were especially crowded. The 7th grade room had a membership of 55 and the 6th grade room had 61. These are conditions that ought not to be tolerated. but we had no more room, and could secure none whereby these rooms could be relieved. The only immediate relief seems to be in securing another teacher to do tutorial work particularly in the 5th, 6th and 7th grades, where on account of numbers the room teachers can give very little individual assistance. It is planned to try this arrangement with the beginning of the next term.


But other plans must be made for the future. There are ninety in the two fifth grades. This means, of course, that there must be two full 6th grades next year, and at the same time both the 7th and 8th grade rooms will be altogether too large. It is evident that we must have more room. If the school population continues to increase as it has the past year, a new building will be absolutely necessary. If a build- ing is erected, provision should be made for future growth, and also for development of work along new lines. The time is surely coming when new lines of work must be provi- ded for in our schools. There is urgent need for such now. Many of our pupils would profit much from properly cor- related manual work, such as cooking and sewing for girls, and some form of constructive work for boys.


70


Additional teachers will be needed next year, and in other ways the cost of our schools will increase. It may not therefore be an opportune time to suggest that better provision be made for our teachers. Nevertheless this should! be done. We have a splendid body of teachers, faithful and efficient, but they are underpaid. They are provided with work for only 36 weeks in the year, and then their pay ceases. They could earn much more at almost any other employment with far less responsibility and nervous strain. In justice to the teachers and in the interest of greater efficiency of the schools, better salaries should be paid.


The school buildings in the outlying districts need special attention during the coming year. All will need repairs, some should be provided with new furniture, and the outbuildings should be thoroughly renovated. Some of these are in a disreputable condition, a menace to both health and morals. The bill before the legislature empowering the State Board of Health to compel necessary changes to be made in such casses will doubtless become a law. We ought not how- ever to wait to be compelled by some outside authority to do our plain duty. The needed changes will cost money, but. better expend some money than to jeopardize further the physical and moral wellbeing of the children.


I am very glad to report that there seems to be in gen- eral a very cheerful compliance with the requirements of the Child Labor Law. The Compulsory Attendance Laws how- ever have operated to lessen the number of labor certificates required, In this connection I may say that we have very few parents who apparently ignore or would like to ignore the requirements of the Compulsory Attendance Laws. Every parent who is at all interested in the future well-being of the child wishes his child to be in school every day as the law requires.


Some features of the attendance record are of interest In spite of the severe weather of last winter, the Roll of


71


Honor for the year ending in June was 50 per cent larger than that of the year before, and whereas 158 were reported not absent or tardy during the fall term of 1913, 221 were so reported for the fall term of this year.


The following table shows the important figures for sev- eral years. The attendance records for the present year are for the fall term, and will necessarily be quite a little differ- ent when computed for the entire year. The total enrollment: and average membership may increase somewhat, while the average attendance and per cent of attendance will decrease.

The schools generally are in good condition. There has been some interruption on account of weather conditions and sickness, but on the whole the work of the year has pro- gressed satisfactorily, and the prospect for the successful completion of the year's work is encouraging.


In conclusion, I wish to thank the board for hearty cooperation in all matters that pertain to the well-being of the schoo's. :


Respectfully submitted, CHARLES W. CUTTS, Supt. .

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.


To the Board of Education of Derry Special School District


No. 2:


I herewith submit my annual report on the progress and condition of the schools.


The year was completed in June by the graduation of an unusually large class from the eighth grade, nearly all the members of which entered the Academy. By the graduation of so large a class, the Grammar room was left very small, hence the 5th grade was transferred for the time being from the Primary room to the Grammar room. In this way the somewhat congested condition of the Primary room was re- lieved.


We have been fortunate in retaining to this time the

same teachers for several years. Their work has been ex- cellent and has given character to the school. It is a matter of regret that one is about to withdraw to engage in other employment. It is unfortunate that the salary cannot be made sufficiently attractive to hold teachers. In justice to the teachers and for the ultimate good of the schools, the salaries should be increased.


The following facts were reported to the State Depart- ment for the year ending in June: Total enrollment 60; average membership, 53.66; average attendance, 49.09; per cent of attendance, 91.48. The corresponding facts for the Fall term of the present year are as follows: Total enroll- ment, 51; average membership, 47; average attendance, 45. 17; per cent of attendace 96.11. Ten were reported as not absent or tardy for that term. For the year endng in June there was but one who had a perfect attendance rec- ord, Signe Rice.


In conclusion, I wish to thank the members of the Board for cordial support and cooperation in all matters.


Respectfully submitted,


CHARLES W. CUTTS, SUPERINTENDENT
